quoting Marindor:
"Having listened to the community, we have now decided to take the decision
to remove the choice of the double edged sword, that is the Player Movement option.
This will remain to be not included in the individual player settings. This will prevent the situations we have had regarding players left behind and being surrounded by gold mines when they have chosen to not move when all of their neighbours did.
This will mean that World Map movement we currently implement each Monday, will continue as usual, with every player taken into consideration for a move closer to the Map centre. It will also mean that any large forced movement, that we have recently come through will be unlikely to be needed in the future."
I think this will be implemented in live servers too.
